Details

Based on real events. On 1 February 1995, an animal rights protester was crushed to death by a lorry exporting calves from Coventry Airport. No-one was blamed or convicted, but a ten-year ban on exporting live animals was imposed shortly afterwards. The lifting of the ban by the EU was met with fresh protest and renewed press interest. Journalist Katrina Wyer broke the runaway story first time around, but ten years on she faces opposition from within her own camp. As office politics and the glass ceiling threaten to overshadow the very human tragedy at the heart of the story, principles fall by the wayside, and Katrina is forced to choose between her conscience and her reputation.
